What is the best week to do an ultrasound to find out the s*x of the baby?

Question

I"m 17 weeks pregnant. Did an ultrasound when 16 weeks but the picture is blurry. The obs said around 5 months that we could be able to tell if it's a boy/girl. To those who are pregnant or have kids, when did you found out? Please response =)

Answer 1

in my area sexing hasnt been available very long..but with my last child i was 20 weeks.. through research i have found it to be true that you can tell from 16 weeks but ofcourse the later you leave it the more chance you have of an accurate result of sexing your baby!!

i am 19 weeks and my scan is due next tuesday and i will be 19 + 6 days..  i am so excited it has felt like its taken forever to get here.. i have a jam packed week until then so hopefully the time will go quicker..

good luck and wish you all the best with your pregnancy and your bundle when he/she arrives!! x

Answer 2

If you can find a ultrasound school you will be able to find out now... I went with my daughter and I was like 17 weeks. and she was born about 1 1/2 weeks later and she was a girl... so it was right... with my son it was 18 weeks and my other daughter it was 22 weeks...

The goods are made at week 11 however on a 4 D ultrasound you will be able to see at week 14 and +....

The ultrasound schools offer free ultrasounds and you even get to record it... I have over an hour of tape of my daughter before she died....

Its so cute to watch it...

Answer 3

I got mine at 20w1d... Anytime after 20 weeks is good, but the baby has to cooperate.

Some are shy =]

Answer 4

I Went When I Was 19 Weeks And 2 Days And Saw That My baby Is A girl. You can Go Anytime After 19 Weeks.

Answer 5

20 weeks or more

Answer 6

Lucky me, I was able to find out at 14 weeks that i am carrying a boy

Answer 7

Any where between 17 and 21 after 25 the baby starts growing more and more and there wont be much room for the baby to move. I went at 17 weeks and find out, after she would uncross her legs. :) good luck! And congrats!

Answer 8

Best week is from week 20 onwards.

Can sometimes tell as early as 16 weeks, but as you have found out, not always.

Answer 9

They typically check during the midpoint ultrasound- around 20 weeks.

But to answer your question literally, a third trimester ultrasound would be even more accurate.

Answer 10

i found out at 21 weeks that i am expecting a little boy.  the picture was really clear and the best bit was that he was awake and moving at the time of the scan.

good luck

Answer 11

I found out with my other kids at 20 weeks and my ultrasound this time around is tomorrow (at 21 weeks).  I would say 20-22 weeks is the best time because baby is still small enough that things aren't cramped in there which wouldn't provide as good of a view...but boy or girl parts are developed enough to accurately distinguish.

Answer 12

hey i went for my ultra sound at 20 weeks an they could not tell me what i was having as the baby had its legs crossed so sometimes you might not be able to find out like me :( hope you get to no what ur having x*x
